Dear My:

Thank you for the opportunity to respond to your request for proposal for Executive Recruitment services for the posi-
tions of Communication Manager and Assistant Communication Manager for the City of San José (“City”). We are most
interested in assisting the City with the effort for these critical openings, which occupy key positions with the City. K&A
Recruiting is committed to providing exceptional service and placements of the highest quality. Based on our experi-
ence filling the Mayor’s Communications Director for the City in 2015, we feel that we are well-qualifed to perform the
recruitment for this search.

We have successfully placed numerous executives and managers with cities, counties, public agencies, JPAs, and
non-profit organizations throughout our 35-year history. To accomplish this, we develop customized recruitment proj-
ects around the unique requirements of each position.

We have made a positive difference for many public agencies and their respective workplaces throughout California,
and have forged strong, authentic relationships with those affected, including both staff and executives alike. To in-
crease awareness of this opportunity, we will tactfully reach into our internal network, with a focus on prospects rele-
vant to the respective Communication positions.

Merging a forward-thinking recruiting philosophy with traditional public-sector values, K&A Recruiting attracts top-tier
candidates from diverse backgrounds while facilitating a recruiting process familiar to the agencies we serve. Technolog-
ically advanced applications and software give our recruiters tools needed to build strong candidate pools. Our philos-
ophy includes targeting diversity, to construct more diverse candidate pools than before, to help in attracting a demo-
graphic that reflects your community.

Our 35-year-old history serving public agencies means that we stay true to who we are and makes for a powerful com-
bination in balancce with our innovative approach with an emphasis on diversity. By investing in technology, we also
increase collaboration and transparency, which gives your team peace of mind when deciding whom to hire.

As Chief Executive Officer of the firm, I would be Co-Project Director for the recruitment together with our Recruitment
Manager, Richard O’Donnell, and our team of seasoned recruiters. You can reach me at (510) 658-5633, and my email

We look forward to the opportunity to provide professional services to the City of San José.
